x86/pkeys: Ensure updated PKRU value is XRSTOR'd

When XSTATE_BV[i] is 0, and XRSTOR attempts to restore state component
'i' it ignores any value in the XSAVE buffer and instead restores the
state component's init value.

This means that if XSAVE writes XSTATE_BV[PKRU]=0 then XRSTOR will
ignore the value that update_pkru_in_sigframe() writes to the XSAVE buffer.

XSTATE_BV[PKRU] only gets written as 0 if PKRU is in its init state. On
Intel CPUs, basically never happens because the kernel usually
overwrites the init value (aside: this is why we didn't notice this bug
until now). But on AMD, the init tracker is more aggressive and will
track PKRU as being in its init state upon any wrpkru(0x0).
Unfortunately, sig_prepare_pkru() does just that: wrpkru(0x0).

This writes XSTATE_BV[PKRU]=0 which makes XRSTOR ignore the PKRU value
in the sigframe.

To fix this, always overwrite the sigframe XSTATE_BV with a value that
has XSTATE_BV[PKRU]==1.  This ensures that XRSTOR will not ignore what
update_pkru_in_sigframe() wrote.

The problematic sequence of events is something like this:

Userspace does:
* wrpkru(0xffff0000) (or whatever)
* Hardware sets: XINUSE[PKRU]=1
Signal happens, kernel is entered:
* sig_prepare_pkru() => wrpkru(0x00000000)
* Hardware sets: XINUSE[PKRU]=0 (aggressive AMD init tracker)
* XSAVE writes most of XSAVE buffer, including
  XSTATE_BV[PKRU]=XINUSE[PKRU]=0
* update_pkru_in_sigframe() overwrites PKRU in XSAVE buffer
... signal handling
* XRSTOR sees XSTATE_BV[PKRU]==0, ignores just-written value
  from update_pkru_in_sigframe()
